This book is about the administration of land, labour and taxation
in Kumbotso district of colonial Kano. Previous studies on colonial
Kano have tended to lay much emphasis on the relationship between
British colonial authorities and the emirate level administrative
structures and officials. While there can be no doubt as to the
importance of this level of relationship in the wider structure of
colonial rule, the reality is that the effectiveness of that rule
depended on the capacity of the system to control a society made up
of widely dispersed small scale producers. It was in order to
achieve this that the British established a system which
decentralised important administrative functions to the district
and village levels and required the physical re-location of
District and Village heads in their respective Districts and
Villages. Looking at colonial administration especially at the
district level, this study shows that the administration of Land,
Labour and Taxation at that level was the critical mechanism
through which the goals of colonial administration were achieved in
Kano emirate.
